Using lies as alibis...

Ya'll remember that old EnVogue song, Lies, right? Well, this week I stumbled upon two instances of chicks lying their asses off! Whats up with that?!

Chicken #1 says that shes going to All Star Weeked b/c she loves sports and can't wait to see the AS game on Sunday night. She says that she was leaving Friday night and would be back at work on Monday morning.

Hmmm...I've got issue with that. The AS game doesn't even start til like 4pm. and I've done red-eye JetBlue flights from Vegas/Long Beach to Dulles and let me tell you...thats a tough one on the return trip. Factor in partying like an "All Star" and call me crazy, but be damned if your ass is showing up to work on Monday a.m. bright eyed and bushy-tailed, much less sober. So for me, that one statement raised a red flag. It just didn't even seem plausible.

Then, when she told me that she was going, I was like, "Oh, you should go to Mr. Lucky's at the Hard Rock, its open 24/7, the food is the bomb!" This is something that someone whose actually been to Vegas would know. But I digress. My hubby tells me that his labels artists took over the MGM Grand from Thursday on...something I relay to her. She doesn't ask to get her name on the list, she doesn't ask whose performing...nothing. She seems not too interested in meeting celebrities or artists - which perplexes me even more since she comes off as the gold digger type. That raises red flag number 2.

Breakdown: Chicken #1 shows up to work promptly at 8:00 without a trace of jetlag or alcohol on her person. Come to find out she didn't go to Vegas because, "the girl that was supposed to pick her up didn't come and get her". Thats one of the worst lies I think I've ever heard. Me and my friend plan a trip to Las Vegas for ASW...we pony up money for hotel and airfare...and then my friend doesn't come to pick me up for the airport? Yeah, you know me...I'm commencing to whuppin that ass! No seriously, I'm taking a cab to Dulles or calling SOMEONE to drop my ass on the toll road...something.

Chicken #2 comes to a work function and proceeds to tell everyone that will listen how she went to ASW and that her brother is a friend of <> rapper. Said "her brother" got her into all the parties for free and proceeds to just start braggin...

Breakdown: What Chicken #2 did not know is that one of her co-workers husbands actually DID go to Vegas for ASW and that all the parties she bragged about, get this...were free to ALL ladies before 11 pm! And that folks were passing out tickets on the strip to ANYONE, like they always do.

Oh - and we can find out if her so called "brother" works for <> rapper. Said rapper is on my husbands label. LOL. Who wants to bet thats a lie too??

And while on the subject of truth, let me give you the rundown on the latest RDB drama.

RDB says that he wants his daughter to come over and see him this weekend. That daughter should call RDB. So Friday evening, child asks to call him. I told her that she had stuff to do this weekend and that she probably wouldn't be able to go. He say, "Put your mother on the phone" and she hands it to me. Here's what I get:

RDB: "I need you to let her come over here this weekend."
Me: "Not going to happen this weekend. Maybe another weekend in March."
RDB: "That's not going to work for me...I...gotta go...I gotta go away."
Me: "What in the hell are you talking about now?"
RDB: "Tomorrows the only day I can see her...I'm going away...for a long time...and I want to see her. Can you do that for me?"
Me: "Ummm...sorry. Handle your business and holla when you come back."

What in the hell? Why not just come out and say, "I'm bout to get locked up and be gone for 5 - 10 years?" Why all the mystery? And then I figured it out. This fool wants to make me look like the bad guy.

So when child asks where her damn daddy is, the only thing I can offer her is, "Well, all he told me was that he was going way for a long time". Not me jack. I ain't been lying to my child about her biological father and I'm not fittin to start now.

"...just the devil in disguise"
